I have found a great new hobby and entered the world of hand made pottery. This blog is to show my work from the beginning. I hope to make a piece a day, hence, Pottery 365.

A new direction

I have found a great new hobby in pottery. I have challenged myself to make a least one piece a day for a year.

I was at a craft show and found a potter, Juliet Smith, who inspired me. I fell in love with her pit fired work and asked if she gave classes. To my delight, she did and my friend Diana and I took a short series of classes in which we made a few pieces. Near the end of the classes, we pit fired our work. Upon going back a couple days later to retreive our pieces of work from the pit, I knew I had found a new direction in my crafting hobbies.

Here are pictures of the pieces I made in those classes. My next post will show you the 3 pieces I made on my own at home. This is a very new experience for me and hopefully my workmanship will improve over the next year. Enjoy!
